Staff report

Pike was dismissed from the Tigers’ team following an arrest on charges of public intoxication. He will have to sit out one year before he can play for the Cardinals.

Pike was an early enrollee at Auburn and participated in spring practices, but after the arrest in June, was sent home for the summer and not allowed to return to the team.

According to Card Chronicle, in the spring of 2011 Pike was kicked out of a 7-on-7 tournament for rifling a ball at an official. As a high school senior, he was also suspended for his team’s playoff loss for undisclosed reasons.
